Girl Fetching Water

The girl pictured in this photo is fetching water from the TAMASCO Dam in Tamale, N/R Ghana - where I was working with the Carter Center, International Aid, and a group of Masters of Engineering students from MIT on household water treatment technologies and the eradication of guinea worm. The turbid water seen in the background is what is often consumed - unfiltered - subjecting people to scores of water-borne diseases.
